I’d just like to point out that the general quality of Chinese products as a whole is improving at a rapid pace. Well, at least outside of their building industry. I think that winter wars with Russia are safer than most Chinese buildings.

If it’s grounded to the ground then how am I supposed to drift it?

“At what point do you think old Volvo wagons will transition from desirable daily driver status to cult cars relegated exclusively to hemp-wearers, vegans, and Democrats?”

I think that happened some time in mid to late 2014 actually. Doesn’t matter, that’s still most people on Jalopnik.

I come from a small suburban town where your parents either worked at a car plant or were upper managers at the big 3 seeking a “rural lifestyle.” My school had 2 things in the lot: old beater cars and brand new trucks. Often the trucks were heavily modded for muddin’ and they would drive over all the curbs and the…

I DD a 2004 Ion Red Line. I replaced my cam and crank position sensors last weekend. The check engine light came back on today. Someone PLEASE just end my suffering.

I believe the word you were looking for was “polarizing” it looks polarizing.
When people see a Panoz they tend to either think it looks like the glorious and shining future incarnate or they think it looks like some Junior designer’s scrapped back of the napkin Viper design from 1992. 

for about a thousand bucks more you could have a real sports car of a similar vintage. Sure one of the following has an auto trans, but I guarantee it’s a better slushbox than the one in the cav.

You got me, it’s that AND because the SOS here doesn’t care about me running fire spitting straight pipes on the street.

“I tried fixing the world, but people didn’t take me seriously because I’m way too edgy and my general cynicism drives people away.”

The only reason I still live in Michigan is to tell Californians that they have no idea what real bad weather is like while I admire my model car collection that isn’t threatened by earthquakes and water my lawn with all my taps running.

No I’ve been corrected, certain ideas developed by Saab moved on to the Ecotec, but the Ecotec is largely based on the Opel Family 2 series of engines.

It is Opel, don’t know why I thought that Family 2 started life in the 9-3.

That’s fine, you sacrifice his kid for Skies of Arcadia, I’ll sacrifice your kid for Panzer Dragoon, and he’ll sacrifice my kid for Crazy Taxi. That’s how this works right?

I have a logitech wheel and I’m good when I use that, but I drive like I’m having a seizure if I use a regular controller.

At least GM let Saab rework the suspension so at least you won’t get motion sickness from the body-roll like you would in a Trailblazer.

Saab’s engines effectively evolved into the first gen ecotec motors though, and GM front-drivers still use Saab’s manual trans-axle. Saab’s reckless spending was their downfall, but it also kept GM alive and kicking past 2008.

I just want something with a hatchback and a fixed roof from Mazda! It doesn’t even need to be rotary anymore!

I had a 6V dump truck when I was little. It actually worked too. I thought that was the coolest thing ever created by man.

Buy your kid a dump truck and watch them take a sudden interest in helping you garden.
